If you're sending your video out the FW port to a deck, it is best to plug
the headphones or speakers into the deck. Otherwise, as they suggested, the
audio will be out of sync (if coming straight out of the mac). There is an
offset you can specify in FCP. I think the default is 4 frames but it's
just easier if audio follows video.

<br>
We are getting a couple Macs, and my co-worker and contract engineer have designed the headphones (requirement for one of the editors which will be located in our office space) to be fed from the exteranl I/O device instead of just using the Mac's headphone jack. Their justification is that you want to get the audio from the same source/device as the video. I mentioned that FCP offers the option to route output audio through various connected devices.<br>
<br>
Has anyone experienced a synch problem when using the headphone jack when you also have an i/o device feeding the video to an external monitor?<br>
<br>
Oh, does FCP still have that timing adjustment for similar conditions? I haven't used FCP since 4.5!<br>
